  • Monsters, Masks & Medical Bills Community Event and Halloween Costume Giveaway!

    Bethlehem Area Public Library 11 W. Church Street, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

    This Saturday, bring the family for FREE Halloween costumes and community storytelling! 👻 At Monsters, Masks & Medical Bills, we’re giving away children’s Halloween costumes (while supplies last) — and inviting families to share their real-life experiences with unaffordable health care, rising premiums, and other healthcare concerns. RSVP HERE! We’ll be recording short stories and photos (with permission) to lift up local voices, connect neighbors, and show the human cost of the “Big Ugly Bill.” Together, we can make sure policymakers and the media hear what families are facing — and why health care shouldn’t be a horror story. 🎃 Come for the costumes. Stay for the conversation. Let’s turn fear into action and make health care work for everyone.\ Organized by: Pennsylvania Policy Center Pennsylvanians Together Action Together NEPA For Our Future PA Affordable PA Moms Rising Together

  • Health Care Shutdown Press Conference at the PA Capitol

    Pennsylvania State Capitol 501 N. Third St., Harrisburg, PA, United States

      The press conference will be held in the Capitol Media Center, Room 01 East Wing. As open enrollment approaches on November 1st, Pennsylvanians are discovering that affordable health care has been shut down. Join advocates, elected leaders, and impacted residents to call out the Republican-led expiration of ACA premium subsidies and deep Medicaid cuts driving up costs across our state. This press conference will shine a light on how Pennsylvania families are being priced out of coverage—while the wealthy continue to get tax breaks. Together, we’ll send a clear message: The shutdown isn’t about politics—it’s about our health care. RSVP HERE.

    Join us at the PA Capitol on Tuesday, November 18th, where advocates from across Pennsylvania will gather for a Our Health, Our Future Lobby Day — a meaningful day of action organized by Planned Parenthood Pennsylvania Advocates and more than a dozen partnering organizations, including the Pennsylvania Policy Center and its Pennsylvanians Together campaign. Participants will meet with lawmakers, attend teach-ins, and rally to demand policies that protect and expand access to reproductive, maternal, and community health care across the Commonwealth. With health care access under threat and legislative attacks on reproductive freedom mounting, Pennsylvanians are mobilizing to send a clear message: Our health, our rights, and our future are on the line — and we won’t back down. We'll be rallying with the Women’s Health and Black Maternal Health Caucuses!
